I have the most amazing family ever! My 2nd cousin's husband works for an international company and they live all over the word, moving every couple of years. Right now they live in Malaysia; but, having spent so much time in Asia they have developed an awesome friendship with a pearl seller in China. I went home to Philly for Christmas and as luck would have it they flew into Philly for a big family Christmas party. My love of pearls led me to ask my cousin a bunch of questions about her pearl contact and so the next day before they left she gave me a bag with a multi colored pearl necklace and matching button earrings! I was overjoyed!!! Anyway when I put the pearls on I realized just how large they were and almost fainted. Now, they are not perfectly matched in size nor are they super high quality. They are certainly off round and I would say below the lowest quality of freshwater pearls that pp sells ( that's the only point of reference I have to judge by). I'm not sure how far below that they are in quality; but, it's not too noticeable when worn on the neck. A few of these pearls appear to be about 10.5mm!!! The only bad thing is now I know for sure I like much larger pearls than I thought of buying before. That's a terrible problem to have isn't it?
